Its name comes from the Arabic word "algurfa," which means "barn" and is right being in their fertile fields. City since 1790.

Flag: "Resolución de 27 de abril de 2007, del conseller de Justicia, Interior y Administraciones Públicas por la que se aprueba la bandera del Ayuntamiento de la Algorfa (Alicante). "Bandera de proporciones 2:3. Partida por mitad vertical. Al asta, de gris perla, la cruz de San Jaime de rojo o gules. Al batiente, de azul, la torre de gris perla."

But what value is RGB gray pearl? Perhaps, 204-204-204? Anyway, in my personal opinion, until I can see the flag, I think that the final color is simply white.
